Cross Country skiing and snowshoeing are fun, easy to learn, inexpensive,
and healthy ways to spend some of your free winter time. Since '79 we have
taken pride in our wholesome natural foods cafe, unique laid-back atmosphere,
curvy exciting trails, and backcountry ski specialty shop. Our day lodge provides
close access to some of West Virginia's most treasured high country.

Located in a snowy corner of the Cabin Mountain range of West Virginia's
High Alleghenies, we pick up much of our 160" annual snowfall off the Great
Lakes whenever strong northwesterly winds drop out of Canada. Originally built
as the Weiss Knob Ski Area in 1959, Bob and Anita Barton operated 4 rope tows
and had snow making here. We now maintain over 60 km of trails ranging from
3220 - 4436 ft. Over 1,200 vertical feet to cross country up and over. Winter Season Web Cams

Groomed Trails
25-30 km of trails are regularly groomed with machine set track. We go off
at times and pack more. We operate a Pisten Bulley
160 snowcat, a tracked UTV, and three large 4 stroke snowmobiles. Yellowstone
Tracking pull behind groomers do most of our work. Skaters may find us on the narrow
side, consider bringing diagonal stride skis as well as backcountry in your
quiver. First timers will feel our trails are groomed with them in mind. Ski to a dozen shelters, some with wood stoves, and most with snacks and bird seed.

Telemark Glades
Throughout our 32 year history we have been known to nip the forest for skiing fast. Old abandoned downhill ski areas are perfect for this. Fly down the Yitzhak Ravine, Boutros-Boutros
Gully, the Endless Glade, or dodge the trees of the NATO Breakfast Bowl.
